Just got the call and we're now at 262. So it's more than double! I am so relieved. The past few days have been so intense and anxiety-ridden...I am just hoping that I can find a way to relax more between now and my 6.5 week ultrasound which is scheduled for 2/21.
I just can't believe this is happening. About 100 times a day I'll be cruising along at work or whatever and suddenly just think, "I'm pregnant". And then I totally lose track of what everyone is talking about. Needless to say I've been very productive this week.
What else can I say? I've been obsessing about my symptoms seeming to come and go, but I've read and re-read 1,000 times that this is totally normal. I haven't thrown up yet, although I'm nauseous, especially in the morning. And wierdly, in the middle of the night. I've been a little dizzy. I've been a little crampy. Everything smells strong. I'm tired, although unfortunately I seem to be wide awake for a few hours every night. I'm constipated and gassy -- joy! But most of all, I'm alternately excited and terrified...and I'm trying -- trying -- to get used to the idea of all of this.

yippee! we get to go through 9 months of those great symptoms together!
Great beta!!!
Your symptoms are ridiculously typical and the come and go thing happens for months. I'm over 4mo now and in the last 2 days my 1st tri symptoms suddenly came back for a surprise visit.
The insomnia is one of the most annoying, you're exhausted physically, but can't get the brain to shut off long enough to go back to sleep. Ahhhh....
I hope the nausea stays mild for you, but if it's already here, be prepared for it to get worse - sorry.
I recommend getting a regular regimin of fiber/water/colace going now so the constipation doesn't get too much worse, that is sooo uncomfortable. My gassiness and nausea was a direct correlation to how recently I'd had a decent BM.
Isn't it just amazingly exciting when it hits you - I'M PREGNANT!!!! After trying for so long, it's so surreal.
CONGRATULATIONS! Symptoms coming and going are normal. Something that helped me was rented a baby doppler. Once you are able to hear the heartbeat-- it was a sanity saver for me. I used it a million times a day for reassurance. I highly recommend it.
Rejoicing about all those symptoms. I can't wait to get them one day. One day soon I hope.
Lookin' Good. :)
